I’m blown away.  Bush’s approval rating is down the toilet because of Iraq.  The Iraq Study Group (paid for by us, ladies and gents) says we should get out.  Our professional military leaders, seeing it firsthand, say we can’t “win”.  The death toll is climbing, hatred against the US is growing, and that is causing new terror cells to form.  Bush’s solution?  Send more troops.  If I see one more letter to the editor in the Ocean County Observer praising our wonderful president (we seem to get one or two a week) I swear I’ll blow my stack.  I can’t even write a fully-informed blog here because I couldn’t bear to read the whole article.  Maybe I’ll just wait until Keith Olbermann comments and link that.  He’s much better than I am at seeing straight and remaining coherent when furious.
